"To dare attack a Princess of The Starlight Elves-"
The Starlight Dragoness roared.
Prompting the young prince to suppress them as well and unleash the magic he had learned and the concepts of those he read about all at once.
Resulting in all seven being stunned for several moments as they were bombarded, burned, and thrown into the countryside.
Of course it was ten meters away and fifty meters down while they were indeed Peak Legendary Realms after all.
As to the reason that was even possible, he didn't care about his body during these trials meaning a proper sacrifice and allowing his rejuvenation to get into effect was far more convenient.
Plus his adult Silver Dragon Body would withstand it, however if all seven were within The Sacred Realm he'd be..
To put it simply slapped around, it would also be difficult if there were even more dragons, if anything else he felt lucky and that such concepts could be used in this form.
Causing the young prince after such a display to gently grab her into his mouth and entering the palace since apparently the dragon pads were accompanied by equally massive doors.
And finally after entering he slapped the palace guards silly with his tail since they 'did' point their spears at him in sheer confusion.
And soon enough she had led him the way to where the princess was currently located.
Which was more or less simply her room as he poked his head in and saw the real Princess Savania, causing him to let the fake out of his mouth to return her essence.
If anything else she'd still have that form, which in itself made the process silly. Just steal the essence and replace it or simply keep the fragments of it and return it. It was possible, however, it took several moments longer.
However, after returning the essence, the fake attempted to make an escape, and to do so she threw a relic at him to revert to his humanoid form, which was successful but she couldn't escape.
Because what the balance considered a humanoid form was in fact his aspect form.
While as for his appearance he looked quiet older and mature and wore Silver Dragon Aspect Armor complimenting his tail, wings, and scales, and giving him a gorgeous yet terrifying charm.
Causing the young prince who was still very much more dragon than himself despite reverting to smile since nothing truly changed. If anything else he was at a greater advantage and stronger in this form.
Resulting in him to then effortlessly grab her by the neck and taking her to the bathroom before then simply preparing to eat her heart.
The reason for this was because after doing so she, much like the blight dragoness and vampire progenitor, was hidden and contained in his bloodline even after the starlit trial..
Meaning he could bring them with him in the future. Meaning he now had three! Of course, the other trials didn't have such enemies, rather simply hordes one way or the other whose leader left before he could look for them.
Causing her to terrifying look to him with pleading eyes.
"I-I said I'll marry you! Please don't take my heart!"
She sobbingly begged, causing the young prince to quickly take control before then retracting his hand from her heart.
"If I eat your heart then you'll remain in my bloodline and will be released as if never dead, while Ravania and I are fairly close. However, not in 'this' era, and even if she remembers I'll return to my time. You 'see' how beneficial it is for me to eat your heart don't you?"
The young prince curiously explained, surprising her causing her to then curiously contemplate for several moments since she'd know if he was lying, at least to the smallest degree and seeing as it made sense..
"I'll believe you.. but you owe me a date! I already gave you my 'heart' too!"
She shamelessly gave up, prompting the poor young prince to then painlessly remove her heart in all but an instant while she nervously smiled, before then respectfully turning her vessel into ash and flushing it down the toilet.
It was simply practical seeing as she'd be reborn anew anyways, so there wasn't much of a point in keeping her body.
While his plan being all three within his bloodline would become autonomous assets or rather companions!
He held no real hate for them while releasing them into The Golden Age of Magic would also prove beneficial while he'll have her infiltrate The Starlight Elves to reveal when or how they disappeared.
Since apparently even Selphie and Silas never mentioned them despite them being apparently common during the eras he visited? What could have happened to them?
Causing him after speaking to the real Princess Savania and explaining how he had ultimately entered the palace to ultimately apologize since to him he simply wished to get it over with.
Causing her to ultimately giggle and kiss his cheek surprisingly enough?
And after a surprisingly eccentric conversation, she had ultimately ignored what happened to the imposter, he had learned quite a bit after getting his fifth seal of approval.
Apparently the person who had casted The Starlit Trials had ensured the difficulty was especially heighted believing he would have crippled his mana and ultimately ended the trials with his first trial.
Unfortunately for that person he hadn't and only needed two more trials to complete it!
While funnily enough she could immediately sense the marks of approval and who they were even if she was from a different time, it was simply a automatic response or rather curiosity since only royals could give marks of approval.
However the marks themselves only reveal their names and ranks as to hide the rest in case they were their future descendant or sibling.
Causing her to giggle even more and prompting the young prince who still had some time left to hesitantly ask the big question he had on his mind.
Before then worriedly whispering it into her ear, causing her as if she already knew to giggle even further before then handing him a memory crystal
"I'll tell you in the future! Now, whenever you leave The Golden Age of Magic of the past and return to 'your' timeline, goto that place! It's a top secret 'containment' facility for royals! I'll be 'visiting' that in the future! Remember what you see in that crystal and release me and I'll repay your kindness"
"If they 'do' disappear they'll tell me why and won't take me with them! As you can see I'm quite eccentric!
Princess Savania ominously giggled, causing the young prince to instantly feel chills down his spine.
And as he examined her soul mark of approval he realized despite being the same and not a threat, he could smell blood simply by imagining it.
No matter the case he passed this trial so if she turned out to become a mass murderer then he blamed The Starlit Trial! And maybe Sterling?
Causing her after noticing these changes to immediately pull him into a passionate kiss surprising him to no end and her to curiously nod.
"What? I'd imagine whatever you're thinking is most likely true! I love blood games and torture towers! Of course, I'd never hurt my sisters, or children, or cuties?"
"Gods.. I really need help don't I? Don't worry, after I have my fun and eventually get stuck in that place, I'll sort these things out and become a proper princess"
Savania casually teased, what was even more concerning was the fact that he had a feeling she would, while she also didn't lie meaning that was her plan?
No matter the case she knew more than she let on and he'll have to find out when he returns to his future.
Meaning he had a Plan A that being the fake, and Plan B that being Savania? The first one was full proof for the most part while the second was half so.
Resulting in her finally calming down having felt she was being far too eccentric with her hobbies, she didn't want to scare him away in the future.
"Forgive me First Prince, I spoke informally. As for what I mentioned, I'm neither crazy nor a psychopath. I firmly believe it's a phase, while after hearing such a curious question. I don't wish to disappear or to be exterminated, neither are beneficial"
"My suggestion was to allow this phase to do its damage and see where it leads, while I hope I'll be contained within that facility since only a handful of individuals know of it while much like everything else we keep our secrets. I simply trust you more since I'm easily able to verify your heroics"
"While as for said containment, I'll sleep through it all up until I discover the reason for your fears. I will neither allow myself to be taken or disappear so please have faith, I may be eccentric and purposely aggravated for the charm, however I'll never lie and I'll forever have faith"
Savania honestly whispered, as if coming clean, and what was more was the fact that this was truer than what she had said before which greatly reassured him.
However as they continued to discuss other things for an hour or so, it seemed a guest had arrived.
It seemed the young prince had a twenty seven minutes left while he himself had only been here for thirty seven minutes, resulting in him ultimately waiting, seeing as the trial was officially completed.
And soon enough the guest was a Starlight Dragon Aspect?
Causing the young prince to frown. She looked more or less like a Sterling Equivalent of a Dragon Aspect, and she looked dismissive of his presence causing Savania to giggle at the sight.
"Sister Stera, meet First Prince Aurel Elfin. He's here for his fifth Starlit Trial! Unfortunately, he was far too quick to deal with that precious essence stealer so now he's keeping me company for the little time he has left?"
"I made a promise to meet him in the future as well so we can continue our friendship!"
Savania gently introduced, causing Stera to do a one eighty and drop her dismissiveness before then simply patting Savania's head.
"Young Sava, to believe your 'borrowed' security were so pathetically insufficient that they even dared and were unable to sense the obvious differences in souls is truly shameful"
"The same could be said for their interference and conflict involving a Starlit Trial Taker, for them to attack a Silver Dragon who had already verified their identity and purpose only truly meant they deserve far worse"
Lady Stera serenely reassured, causing Savania or rather Sava now to gently nod in agreement while the young prince softly sighed.
"They were simply in the way, I'm not responsible for the incompetence of children playing dragons. I couldn't believe that they weren't able to assess the situation let alone notice the same suspicions as I did in my first meeting with the imposter"
"She even had a journal, while I sensed that of a welp of Lady Senex. I also believed they would have been able to realize the situation after my reaction, instead they dare to say 'you' dare to attack a Princess of The Starlight Elves?"
"How is it that I have the ability to recognize a princess of The Starlight Elves and they didn't? I even suspected foul play, whoever is responsibility for allowing such incompetence is incompetent themselves. If not then why was I needed?"
The young prince curiously observed, prompting Sava to gently nod with some helplessness since she was the one who borrowed them, while Stera curiously peeked at his bloodlines.
"You're both a Descendant of Kassandra, and quite the collection of bloodlines? I am indeed interested to see your future"
Stera serenely noted, causing the young prince to hesitantly nod.
"Kassandra is very much my big sister. While it may in fact be a taboo for revealing these bits of information, but please do with it as you may"
"Outside of these trials I have yet to meet a Starlight Elf, while I have never heard of a Starlight Aspect. All the while that essence stealer was a whelp of The Queen of Senex"
"The Queen of Senex required a joint effort of many greater races to defeat, while she can't truly be killed. She can easily steal and replace the essence of those unsuspecting, while I believe the same will no doubt also be done by those who aren't husks"
"The easiest way to discover one is to use the Light Bearer Magewreath on a bloodline verification device, while simply peeking at their souls would also do"
The young prince curiously tested, surprising both and causing Sava to thankfully nod while it seemed that enough was enough for Stera to be on guard, not against him but quite possibly someone else.
While the young prince was hoping to skip the time limit since the balance may or may not interfere after he spoke too much into the future.
While funnily enough only a minute remained while he used a memory crystal involving all of his thoughts of their disappearance and tossing it to Stera. As if the last salute and insult to the balance.
